USC quarterback Mark Sanchez is hearing some criticism following a performance against Arizona that was not up to the junior quarterback's standards.

Coach Pete Carroll said Sanchez needs to take fewer chances. While Sanchez has struggled with some fumbles and failed to hit open receivers, Coach Carroll was quick to emphasize that there is no quarterback controversy, and that Sanchez is well ahead of the other Trojan signal callers.

The father and brother of USC quarterback Mark Sanchez met with a representative who is paid by USC to investigate pro prospects and council players with NFL aspirations.

In the largest shutout since 1931, USC quarterback Mark Sanchez became the first Trojans' passer to throw five touchdown passes in a single half of play, this against the Washington State Cougars.

The USC Trojans got a resounding win today against the Arizona State Sun Devils, but it wasn't due much to the play of starting quarterback, Mark Sanchez.

Sanchez was awfully hard on himself after the game, noting that he had made bad throws all afternoon long and felt he'd hurt his team more than helped, yet Carroll praised the junior for even getting out on the field and playing at all, describing the USC starter as a "hero" for the way he way he consistently "steps up."

Quarterback Mark Sanchez suffered a bone bruise after being hauled down by the back of his jersey in the third quarter against Oregon last Saturday. Head coach Pete Carroll said Sanchez "has a chance to play".

If Sanchez can't go, Mitch Mustain will get the start. On a side note, why do they have the horse collar rule in college football if they are not going to call it?
